My Entry for the LBP Gold Challange -- check it out !

Archive: 8 posts


Its been a while since I've created anything for Little Big Planet. But I'm back, and here is my latest creation.


LBPGolfNA - Driving Range by tonhe98

This is a fun level, not only to play, but it was a blast to build. This level features a rather large golf ball that you get to climb inside and blast down the driving range. Your power is controlled via a meter that adjusts your club's speed. Once you finally come to a stop and hop out of the ball my golf cart should come rolling up and come to a stop right next to you. You can use it to drive up to the scoreboard where you will find points waiting. You get 5 score bubbles for every 50 yards.

Update: Here is the Video that Sackboy 223 made for me. Thanks again !

Here are some photos of the level. Some are from when it was being developed, so details have changed slightly.

Thanks for taking the time to look through this post, if you do play the level and enjoy it, please take the time to heart it, and myself.

Ok, finally got the time to try this out and I was pleasantly suprised by it
The overall experience was fun mixed with a decent system.
There are a couple of things I think you could try to change:
1) I couldn't see all of the gauge when I was inside the ball (but this may have been because I don't have a widescreen TV).
2) At the beginning I jumped down onto the golf cart instead of reading the rules. Perhaps you could point an arrow with instructions written over it so people know where to go).

I gave it 4 stars butno heart because it was a little easy to get the top scores (not much difference between getting the score right at the top of the gauge and a bit behind it)

But still, a very good level - the best I've seen so far

Hey Coxy, thanks for the great input!!

I addressed the issues you found with the level, its now much harder to hit the ball with full power. I changed the camera around a bit, and added a sign at the begining that pops up and lets you know where the instructions are. (I'm not 100% sold on the look of the sign as of yet, but its the best I could do with the time I had)

I also spent a few hours trying to tweak the physics of the range trying to make it more sensitive to slight changes in power. This is very difficult due to the limited nature of the game. But I hope with the added difficulty and small changes to physics you will notice a large difference. Please take a look and let me know what you think!

Heh, anything I can do to get you to heart it, let me know

Thanks again,

I played it, and it was much better
Not to be picky, but I wasn't so sure about the starting position of the entrance. Personally, I thought it was a bit odd that it was in the air.
But it still got the heart from me now - I think it is much better

Here is a copy of the video that Sackboy223 made for me !

edit: i should of probably said that I positioned it that way just as a habit. I just don't like seeing the start gates in the levels...
